Comparability
Apart from slight universe differences and the contextual meaning of "other," AIDBEHAVOTHSEX (V760X) is largely comparable across samples. Most commonly, this question is worded as "Has your knowledge of AIDS influenced or changed your decisions about having sex or sexual behavior? In what way?" or some slight variation.

Comparability — Namibia [top]
The 2000 Namibia survey asks, "How have you changed your behavior since you heard about AIDS? Any other ways?" The response category "other" does not specify sexual or non-sexual behavior changes. To maximize comparability, users may wish to combine responses to AIDBHEAVOTHSEX and AIDBEHAVOTHNSEX (V760W) when using this sample.
